Clint Eastwood and Minorities Mix Like Fire and Gasoline:
Clint Eastwood is a man I can respect. A living movie legend, Clint Eastwood has directed dozens of classic movies and starred in many more films. For years he played the grizzled, nameless cowboy in the "Dollars" series and countless other Spaghetti Western shooters. He was also the titular hero of the "Dirty Harry" series. Today he continues to contribute to the movie industry by directing movies about flags and very expensive babies. So what does Clint do when old age has weathered his skin and bones? He knees Death in the crotch by directing, producing, starring and singing in a movie about him shooting minorities. Let's face it; everyone wishes their grandfather was Clint Eastwood.

We just saw this movie yesterday, and I thought it was stunning. Walking out of the theater, I was speechless. I recommend this movie. (not for children)
Amen!
I just checked Google, and I see that Gran Torino won a lot of awards, and deservedly so.
BTW, we like to go to an historic theater in the next town. The owner shows movies after they leave the multiplex theater, and he can only show one movie at a time.
He picks the movies he likes best and usually avoids R rated ones because he caters to familes. We decided to go if he liked it that much.
It’s hard to find theaters like this anymore. Most were torn down.

I got this movie for Fathers Day gift. I love this movie.
A really good movie.
He is a jackass. He calls calls people racist names. The punks he deals with are worse with the names.
He is a jackass. He helps a poor family with day to day living.
He is a jackass. He helps a young a boy with no father figure, how to be a man, and do right.
That jackass!
He doesn’t contribute anything useful to society.
What a jackass.
BTW, I loved the movie.
